Got my SPL tested

[chzdhippt]

I was going to get some of those as well, but wasn't sure if they were going to get in my way, because I like my foot rest pedal.

I;ve got the kicks and they dont get in the way too much and the dead petal, for my car, is gone......check out my site for pics on them.....

I hit 141.3 in my first testing....thing is i didnt have the right track to get it to hit its hardest....I got the the testing at 3 and asked to get in and the guy said that the normally stop taking applicants at 11 but he was like what the hey and told me to get in line..... i only had the amp up half way and the face had a bass bost and i had it off....pisses me off wish i had the time to tweak it before i went in. o yeah and my amp powers everything in my system....6 speakers and 2 subs

hehe, hey guys.....at my last comp. i scored (sorry) 176.2 db
and that was from the from the front windowi got 174.6 from the drivers floor and i dont have ports so the didnt mesure from them, i love sealed boxes, cleaner sound, although if i did go ported or vented i would prolly get at least 5 more db

i no longer have my amps though, they where stolen along with my head unit, so i wont be doing much booming for a while....but as soon as i do im buying the same head unit that got stolen (clarion drx-6575z) and 2 clarion 2000 watt amps, if you know "boss" you know there power output is not up to what they say it is, and clarion is actually underrated on there wattage, so ill be even better off

one of these days ill actually get around to getting pics of my system, its all very well hidden, with the rear deck cover you dont even know its there, amps were ziptied thru holes the floor under my seat (holes where caulked) and other than that i have 2 dual 10" boxes glued to each other and recarpeted one facing therear and one facing up, my rear deck cover actually sits on the subs, so i have to take it off or its bounces up and down (there not very heavy) anyway, for the rest of my system look at my sig.

God, I remember when my first aiwa cd deck was stolen like 2 weeks after I got it. I hella wanted to just go steal someone elses, but that isnt justice, it just fucks someone else over. Damn theives

"nittanys1" you should have gotten the 2 door accord, those are way more dope...(in my opinion) but im not a hater, ur 4 door is pretty slick

Fuck that! The 2dr coupes of that generation accord are ugly as fuck! The back end is hella high, i swear if you are behind one all you see are the taillights.

I really like the CF trim

[nittanys1]

thanks, I wanted to get the two door V^ but my girl was like those are for girls...but i got the 4 door cuz it was used and only had 7000 mile on it so i got it for a steal....and its already paid off

176.2 Hmm From 4 10's. I don't think you scored that high. If you have a slip from a sanctioned event then maybe but I think your measuring equipment must be incorrect. I have 4-15" 1500 Gti in a sub wall and they are hitting 154.1. At that level the front window flexes. Every 3 db is twice as loud and if you are hitting 176.2 then Your system pounds 132 times louder than mine and your winshield is still intact... Hmm sounds fishy...

Type S as in alpine?

[tbk49]

yea

[Melt]

Sounds like a good setup. The alpine type-r's are pretty good also. I dont know much about them in piticular, but alpine has always made great top of the line shit

sorry to say guys but that's pretty weak. In my 73 bug, I had 2 10" RF Punch XLC subs in a custom built ported box with a 400 watt RF amp. Off the dash, I hit 153.5 db, in the floorboard, I hit 152.3 Above the port, oh nevermind, you don't wanna know. Ok, I can't resist, above the port 159.8db!! Eat your heart out boyzz!! All in a measly vw bug. I sold the car and the stereo. I miss it! If you don't believe me, I have pics to prove it, oh yeah, trophies too!

Did your bug have a 1600cc motor w/ a stinger and two tone paint i believe? Do you live in CA? did you also post on Cal-look.com? if so, Im sorry but your system looked like crap. Your box looked very generic as well.

One reason your scores were high- you had it in a bug. Assuming that all window and door seals were in good condition your score does not impress me. Shutting the door in a straight sealed bug will make your ears almost pop. My 71 hit 138db with 1 10" punch. thats a model lower sub than you had.

The alpine r's are good i agree or u can get either the JL W6 Or W7's:flash:
